As I mentioned on Facebook, we're expecting a good number of new products to arrive towards the end of this week. While I'm busy preparing the store for this big batch of new products, I'd like to share two little projects with you on this special day of the year. After all, after today we need to wait for another four years for this day to jump onto our calendar again.
Bella Blvd's Estate Sale collection caught my eye when I bought for the store for the very first time. I love the colour combo and those little flower patterns. Couple weeks ago I finally picked them up and had a whole lot of fun to play with this lovely collection. I created two layouts and completed two projects using the paper, stickers and chipboards. Today I'll share the projects.
The first one is a mini album for a friend, which I created out of empty toilet paper rolls. I made a gift cardholder using the paper roll before, and this was the first time for me to try them for a mini which I've seen a lot on the web. They were truly fun to work with because of the size and the versatility. And the most fun part of it is you can insert either a journaling card or a photo inside the "pocket". In my case, a photo is designed to be inserted into the "pocket" with a little tab on it.
I also made a box for the mini. A piece of paper were folded into a box, and then I covered it using a Printed Transparent Overlay from It's The Little Things collection by Fancy Pants. A brad and a twine were added to finish off the box.
Stamps, some Maya Road goodies and other fun little things were used to embellish the album. Here are more pictures of the mini and the box ~~
The second project is a kid-friendly project. As you may have known, I love to do craft projects with my kids. For this year's Valentine's Day, Charles and I made some Valentine gifts for his school friends and teachers.
It's a very simple yet fun project: tow punched paper hearts were glued together to form a pocket for a coin chocolate and then was glued to a pencil using hot glue. Some were added a butterfly at the back. My 2.5-year-old Abigail said these were Valentine wands (yes, she's watched too much Harry Potter with her brother)! :)
Next time I'll share the two layouts using the same Estate Sale collection by Bella Blvd. OK, time to get back to work. Thank you so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out the Shopped during the weekend as you'll see many many yummy goodies coming in!
hugs,
Yolanda
